Wynonna Judd Shares Heartbreaking Mother’s Day Tribute to Naomi Judd

Wynonna’s post also comes just two days after Ashley penned a gut-wrenching essay about spending her first Mother’s Day without Naomi. “This Sunday is abruptly, shockingly, my first Mother’s Day without my mama,” she wrote in her op-ed for USA Today, published May 6. “She died just days before my sister, and I could show her again how much we love and honor her.” 

Noting that her heart wasn’t empty, she wrote that it was rather “replete with gratitude for what [her mother] left behind,” which included “her nurture and tenderness, her music and memory.”
